CHARGED FOR CARE?
The circumstances under which
a veteran might be charged for
care received in a VA hospital
arise rarely. It is possible that
a veteran admitted to a VA hos
pital, is later determined not to
have legal entitlement, so would
be billed for his care. Also, a vet
eran may be admitted for in
juries sustained in an automobile
or industrial accident and “third
party” liability determined later.
If the veteran is awarded dam
ages based wholly or in part on
the cost of the medical services
involved, the VA may seek pay
ment. ;
